Meditations of My Heart--
Photos and Thoughts on Life
Credit Where It Is Due
Credit Where It is Due
I like to make photographs, and I enjoy being praised for what I have done. But God teaches a different attitude, one of thankfulness and humility. He pointed that out to me recently. I DO NOT MAKE THESE PHOTOGRAPHS ALONE. I didn't create the light, or the technology which makes photography possible. I didn't buy my camera, it was a gift from my husband. I didn't give myself the ability to see through the camera in order to make an image which others find pleasing. It is right to use what I have been given to the best of my ability, but it is wrong to take credit for what I have not done. God made the light, the elements which are used to manufacture the camera, and the world from which these images come. He has given me gifts: people to teach me, eyes to see with, and a brain to process information. I am thankful for these gifts. He deserves all the praise, not I.
This guy was in our yard, browsing on shrubs, flowers, and grass the other evening. I followed him around from inside the house, shooting as many pictures as possible through the windows. Isn't he handsome?
This shot was cropped and converted to black & white with a green filter.

Nice B&W of the deer. I came home last night to scare off a doe who had just finished eating all my astilbe flowers.
He is gorgeous! What a beautiful photo...you have captured a feeling of strength and gentleness...a good reminder that we too can posess both qualities in balance at the same time.
Wonderful capture. I really like seeing the velvet. . .I usually only see does and once in awhile a sweet fawn. Thanks for sharing a view from my home state!

Mike, LOL! I understand! They seem to think our flowers are candy!
I have never seen a buck but it looks tame and fun to capture it. Nice shot!

Wow, nice close up! Nice in B&W too.
You got those eyes very nice, but I think he has spotted you :-)
I enjoyed those velvety horns.
Sleek and gorgeous. Awesome shot! But not so wonderful if they eat your flowers...
I cannot see you pics since you changed your template. What should I be doing that I am not?
What a gorgeous capture! I love it! Such beautiful, velvety horns and wonderful eyes! Hope you have a lovely weekend!

I found you on The Fishing Guy. Glad I did.

Love how you caught the sun on his face!
He has some lovely velvet horns that for sure.
I do like you - window to window and today I decided the windows HAVE to be cleaned. :)
And, I see all your photos just fine.
He looks so handsome! Love the glow of light in his eye!
